For brands on Amazon/marketplaces - how is the start of November looking for everyone? Been way down for us YoY/against expectations so far and assuming there's some macro impact from gov't shutdown earlier this month + Amazon messaging "black friday is coming" every time you open the app - curious if others are seeing/feeling this
